"Jaffe is blessed with both a trenchant lyrical pen and a vocal instrument perfectly suited to mainlining her effortlessly crafted, heartbroken tunes straight to the soul." –Paste Magazine
"Great songwriters bring together two things…the ability to relate to people's daily lives and the wisdom to express emotions in new and powerful ways…Sarah Jaffe passes both tests." –NPR
"One listen to 24-year-old Texas native Sarah Jaffe’s music and you’ll feel like you’ve known her for years….with lyrics so intimate you’ll feel like you’ve read her diary and a focus on her lovely, smoky voice (as if she’s whispering directly into your ear)." –Magnet
"Sarah Jaffe is easily a charmed singer / songwriter. Her obvious talent draws you in and takes care of you. This album is sure to stand among the best female singer / songwriter albums of the year." –Country Music Pride
"Best thing I heard: I've been digging the debut from a young singer / songwriter out of Texas named Sarah Jaffe. Go to MySpace right now and hear Before You Go." –USA Today Pop Candy
"If you’re even remotely alive/awake, (this will) knock you flat on your ass. Jaffe’s voice is the best instrument I’ve heard in a long, long time. Seriously: the last time I was this excited about a new singer was, I don’t know, a decade+ ago, hearing Richard Buckner for the first time (let’s be fair: I’ve dug Throw Me the Statue and Bon Iver and Ritter and Spoon and everyone else, but in terms of just pure singing power? In terms of voice? It’s not even close)." –Corduroy Books
"Suburban Nature, Sarah Jaffe’s full-length debut, announces the Denton, Texas-based musician’s arrival as a force on the folk-pop scene in a big way, offering up 13 gems that could make even a hardened critic start throwing around terms like the next big thing.” –American Songwriter
"Suburban Nature the provocative and quietly commanding debut album from 24-year-old Denton, Texas singer / songwriter Sarah Jaffe strips back, track by amazing track, any remnants of artifice or glossy veneer to get to the naked core of the personal joys, pains and haunting imagery that pulse beneath her bruised, resilient skin. This is an album of brilliantly understated, finely crafted miracles. Highly recommended." –Direct Current
